The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 614

On the other end, John heard every single word. He then sighed. “Where will you be staying at night? And what will you be eating?”

Sophia thought for a moment. “The store here has everything. We’re almost done cleaning the house, so there’s no problem on my side. You don’t need to worry.”

John was silent for a long while before he grunted in assent. “Alright, then. I got it. Call me if you need anything.”

Only when he’d hung up did Sophia breathe a sigh of relief.

After bustling around for half the day, the sky outside had gone dark. Very much hospitable, Mrs. Hensley offered to have dinner at her place. “Why don’t you come over to my place for dinner? You’ve got nothing here in your house.”

Sophia turned it over in her mind. I’m rather tired, so I don’t feel like cooking for myself. “Sure. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

Mrs. Hensley laughed. “Why did you become so courteous in your speech after leaving for a year, girl?”

After having dinner next door, Sophia then returned to the house. Flipping on the lights, she sat down on the bed she’d previously slept in. The wattage of the lights was relatively low, so the house appeared very dim. Although my life has improved a lot now that I’ve come this far in life, every time I reminisce about everything in the past, I just find myself regretting many things.

As she looked around the empty house, tears once again streamed down her face. Back when Grandpa passed away, the elders said that everything that once belonged to him had to be burned so that he could use it in the afterlife. We hadn’t had much in the first place, so when everything was burned, the house truly turned empty.
